Review summary

RSS Widget is a long-standing, no-frills home-screen RSS widget praised for its simplicity, small footprint, and ability to show multiple feeds in one uncluttered view. Users report it works well when stable, but many reviews note recurring problems: lack of updates for modern Android versions, feeds sometimes fail to refresh or disappear, occasional tap/interaction issues, and an outdated UI with limited customization. Some fixes involve disabling battery optimization or updating the app, but overall maintenance seems lacking. The core value remains its minimal, widget-only approach for quick access to news.

Pros

Simple, no-frills widget with a small footprint.
Easy to set up and use; straightforward UI.
Displays multiple feeds in one uncluttered home-screen view.
Reliable basic functionality and clear display of news.

Cons

Needs updates to be compatible with modern Android versions (e.g., Android 15) and devices.
Feeds can stop updating or disappear; occasional "No RSS feed available"/reliability issues.
Touch/tap interactions (opening links or refreshing) can fail; widget sometimes unresponsive without workaround.
UI feels outdated and offers limited customization/options; modernization requested.
Power-saving/battery optimization can interfere with operation (requires manual workaround).

best RSS widget, please update for Android 15
2025-02-15	Mi*****	I've been using this app for years with no issues except until today. It's no longer displaying my favorite feeds no matter how many times I tried. Very disappointed. UPDATE: Another issue arised; this app is not compatible with my "newer" phone, which is counter intuitive. Therefore I'm dropping 1 more star. I hope the app developer fixes both issues.
